ASYMMETRICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE GYRI-RECTI PRESENTING AS A SUPRASELLAR MASS - CASE-REPORT AND DESCRIPTION OF 6 FURTHER CASES

Asymmetrical appearances of normal anatomical structures can sometimes mimic pathology. We present a case where asymmetry of the gyri recti was interpreted as a suprasellar mass on axial CT scanning. The true n ature of the apparent abnormality was revealed by coronal magnetic res onance imaging (MRI), We also present six further cases where asymmetr ical gyri recti were noted as incidental findings on coronal MRI scans . This is a common, but important, normal anatomical variant, which sh ould not be mistaken for pathology.
